It seemed to me the track was playing pretty fast yesterday. She wasn't forced at all by Martinez running those fractions. She handled those fractions just fine. If she finished 10 lengths back setting those fractions I think you'd have a point. I can't be too critical of that ride...she got an easy lead and seemed relaxed to me. That's pretty much what you want form a horse with some natural speed in her.
